Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s with Oprah Winfrey have shocked the world. Prince William has defended the UK Royal family against accusations of racism made by his brother Prince Harry and sister-in-law Meghan Markle, saying the Royals are “very much not a racist family.”
On Thursday, the Duke of Cambridge made the statement during a visit to a school in Stratford, London, after a journalist asked whether the Royal Family was a “racist family.”
Followed by the statement given by Prince William, netizens were quick to remind him of his family’s colonial past and troubled history with racism. The microblogging site, Twitter got flooded with pictures wherein the Prince was carried on a ‘throne’.
Have a look at the tweets:

So Prince william can speak out to defend the royal family by saying “we’re not a racist family” but he can’t speak out in defence of the ONE member of the family actually subjected to racism? 🤨

Prince William’s response has me thinking of this powerful quote:
“Denial is the heartbeat of racism, beating across ideologies, races, and nations.”

“We are very much not a racist family,” says Prince William but, what about Phil The Greek, Princess Michael of Kent [who’s father was a member of the Nazi Party by 1930 & later joined the SS] & not forgetting this gem of a picture of ‘our’ Queen & her mother. 👇 pic.twitter.com/bkYkIMmYWo

Prince William’s angry face today tells me he was forced to do this engagement. Chuck’s PR with Black people basically forced him to come out of hiding, and also do his ‘I’m not racist’ PR tour. pic.twitter.com/qt9CdKFjD5

Meghan-Harry’s Tell-All with Oprah Winfrey:
In the interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle has accused the British Royal family of racism, lying, and pushing her to the verge of suicide.
The 39-year-old, whose mother is Black and father is white, has said she had been naive before marrying into the royal family in 2018, and that she ended up having suicidal thoughts and considering self-harm after pleading for help but getting none.
The two-hour interview is the biggest royal interview since Harry’s mother Princess Diana detailed her crumbling marriage to his father Prince Charles in 1995.
